Hawk-eyed Chelsea fans claim that Mason Mount may have recorded his farewell video to Blues 'over a month ago'. The England international sported bleach-blonde hair in the video while he was pictured at Carrington on Tuesday ahead of his £60m move to Manchester United with his natural look.
One Chelsea fan page (@CFCBlues_com) posted a series of photos of Mount, including one of him on holiday last month with blonde hair and another at Carrington yesterday with brown.
"I feel you deserve more than just a written statement, so I wanted to tell you directly how grateful I've been for all of your support over the last 18 years. I know some of you won't be happy with my decision, but it's what's right for me at this moment in my career. I joined Chelsea when I was six years old and we've been through a lot together.
"The backroom staff, the unsung heroes of Cobham, all my teammates over the years that have become my brothers, my family for the continuous love and support, and most importantly, you guys for sticking with me throughout. Wish you all the best."
